This title was part of Ambleside Online's year 4 curriculum. David (9) loved it. It's in picture book format but the words are not dumbed-down but an excellent example of living narrative nonfiction. How do you both simplify genetics and make it come alive? Put a human touch on it. Give it life by connecting it to a life. Cheryl Bardoe does this excellently.

What a fun introduction to genes. We really liked this one.

This book is delightful. I don't know how it is for kids, but it was a good reminder for me about genetics. And the food language throughout was sweet and subtle.

If I were still teaching, I would add this to my collection of picture books for older students. It is a good introduction to the scientific method, as well as a very interesting introduction to how science was done years ago. An enjoyable and interesting read.

Text is awkward, and some pictures have labels and others don't. A simple biography but could have been better.
